    Filing another petition in a different category does not "reset" the wait time, if that's what you mean. Like others are saying, it is not a bad idea to have two petitions in the works, but either way he has years to wait.
  2. SalishSea
    It is fine.

    How is you supporting him in Turkey any different than supporting him in Lebanon was? There is no immediate path for him to come to the US right now. Can you look into whether an EU country would take him? Generally for refugees, the idea is to resettle in nearby safe countries. He would need to look at neighboring countries.

    Wow. You have a lot to overcome. Rushing to open accounts/name beneficiaries now won't fix the problem, because they'll see that for what it is. Do you not even have joint Costco/health insurance/auto insurance etc? Did you not do any reading about the ROC requirements/expectations?

    There is no waiver available. USCIS does not recognize unconsummated proxy marriages.
  6. SalishSea
    Absolutely not. In addition, although one "can" marry someone without ever having met in person, I strongly discourage anyone from doing that. Why create another red flag for your case? Marriage is a huge commitment and step. VJ is FULL of stories by people who married someone they had met maybe once, and are not absolutely regretting that decision. After all, you wouldn't marry someone in your neighborhood sight unseen, would you? And there is no chance you would get a waiver, sorry.

    No. It means the packet is accepted (correct form and payment, etc) and you’ll get the receipt notice. The adjudication of the contents of the packet will not occur until many months later.

    It’s better not to. Laminating makes it harder to determine authenticity of documents.

    Her mother can apply for a tourist visa, just like anyone else. There is no sponsorship. Her best bet for approval is to show strong ties to home.

    That’s not how the extreme hardship waiver works…..
  11. SalishSea
    Extreme hardship to who?
  12. SalishSea
    Sure, but that doesn’t mean you need to show their assets, does it? If anything, you need to show that YOU have adequate funds in your bank account to fund your visit.
  13. SalishSea
    Your relatives’ assets are irrelevant. All you can do is provide info about your ties to Brazil and see what happens. There is no guarantee or magic solution involved.
  14. SalishSea
    This is very basic info about this process that you should already know. I suggest you read the guides thoroughly.
  15. SalishSea
    Excellent summary of the red flags, thank you, @smilingstone!
  16. SalishSea
    Exactly my point. Water under the bridge now, but for a case already containing red flags, I’d have gone with consular processing vs. adjusting status, for sure.
  17. SalishSea
    Maybe you’ll be on the same flight! 😊
  18. SalishSea
    All you can do is apply and see if approved. You have some red flags that could be a challenge, but a tourist visa denial will not negatively impact the immigrant visa outcome.

    As long as OP did not lie to CBP, there is no evidence of fraud. Only OP knows whether that occurred.

    Are you planning for her to immigrate to the US?
  21. SalishSea
    But you formally requested a withdrawal?
  22. SalishSea
    You have some red flags already, which I’m sure you’ll get feedback on here. Even with red flags, your overall process will not go faster. Whether you use a paid service or DIY.

    We only sent quarterly bank statements and quarterly joint bills. It was a slim but comprehensive packet. Approved without interview or RFE, 18 months at Nebraska. This was average processing time for that center then.
  24. SalishSea
    You voluntarily shared your ‘business’ on a public forum, so expect a variety of feedback. Anyway, if it was denied in error and you have a competent attorney, it should be nothing to worry about. Hopefully you are submitting the appeal asap.

    It was probably not a great idea to adjust on a non-immigrant visa, honestly. Why didn’t he just petition you properly for an IR-1, he literally had years to do it? Also- now you are out of status and no longer in a period of authorized stay, ie subject to removal. Your EAD is also no longer valid. What does your lawyer recommend?
